I'd like a local filesharing option. Where a single folder would be synced in my phone from home computer when I'm at home, and from work computer and phone when I'm at work. Without using cloud sync between them only when I'm physically traveling between them, that's good enough for most use cases of cloud sync that I want for work.
So just sync over local wifi basically? I'm pretty sure you can do thing with syncthing if you just disable "global discovery". You can read the local discovery protocol here https://docs.syncthing.net/specs/localdisco-v4.html but afaiu there is no cloud sync involved at that point and just device to device sync.
Perfect, it looks like the thing I want. Hopefully it can do multiple devices in different networks. I'll test it out when I can.
Thank you :)
It's awesome that more people are discovering new useful software through answering here!
